It’s My Blog-Day And I’ll Give If I Want To!

On June 30, 2011 my little blog turns one year old!! The grow up so fast, don’t they?

It seems like just yesterday that I did my first blog post here on my new baby blog site. I was nervous and excited to start writing about all sorts of stuff from recipes, to my new (at the time) decorative painting business, to posting pictures… lots and lots of pictures. Who knew I would love every aspect of my little baby blog and it would be such an extension of who I am? Words can not express the pride I feel in this little blog that could.

Having said that, in the past year I’ve learned so much about blogging from some really talented fellow bloggers and yet I know I still have a long way to go regarding certain aspects. I’ve never claimed to be a great writer, or photographer for that matter, so I appreciate all of you who have hung in there with me as I have cut my teeth on this blog.

All in all, I started this just for fun and to document things that were happening in my life in regards to home, family, paintings and life in general at the time. Life moves so quickly and I felt I needed to mark my little place in the world. In that aspect, I feel hugely successful and look forward to where and when my next inspiration will come from and what tomorrow will bring.

Which brings me to the reason for this particular post…I made you something that I hope you’ll love.

It’s because of readers like you (yes you), that have supported me in so many different ways and with such lovely and encouraging words that I feel I’d like to give YOU a gift on my special one year blog-iversary.

Now, close your eyes, scroll down a bit, and hold out your hands…..

OK, now you can open your eyes……I hope you weren’t cheating but actually if you read that, you’re eyes weren’t really closed now, were they? Well, that’s OK, I’ll let it slide because I like you 😉

Happy Blog-iversary ! Nana and I have greatly enjoyed visiting your blog each French Friday and we all appreciate all the lovely comments you have left for us. Time really flies with the blogs and before you know it these special milestones come up. I think it is a wonderful way to document our lives and interests…and make new friends. We would be honored to win the glasses and Nana and I would each keep two, but most likely share many bottles of wine with them between us !!!

I have admired your artwork for many months and because of it I wanted to ask you to become a friend on FB. I anticipate looking for your newly decorated products every week. You are such an articulate artisan and your talent is beyond belief. My daughter would love these black, flowered wine glasses as well as myself. They would be a fantastic addition to any kitchen or entertaining decor. I look forward to seeing your artwork in the future. You rock! Margie~ Artistic Glass Decor & More.
